No one hurt Made Jan 18, 2012, sent to the company Jan 25, 2012, published by CPSC Feb 15, 2012
The product, in the report: This is the IKEA Kura bed: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10123996/ The bed is reversible, and we were using it as a bunk bed, with a mattress in the top and bottom portions.
My 18-month-old son sleeps in the bottom bunk of an IKEA Kura bunk bed. He became entrapped by getting his head between the mattress and the bottom rung of the ladder. We freed him quickly and he was uninjured.
We were using a regular twin mattress, and we suspect that the product designer did not take into account the possibility of a regular twin being used - which is thicker than a comparable IKEA mattress. Had we been using a mattress even 1-2” thinner, his head would have not likely become entrapped.
We do not remember seeing a warning or recommendation to use a thin-style mattress on the bottom bunk, and think it would make sense for that to be added to the product warnings.
